Today I'm having a little bout of nostalgia. Oliver G. introduced me to this musician in the 1970s simply by listening to his records until I could afford them myself.
Jean-Michel Jarre was born in Lyon in 1948 and suddenly became famous in 1976 with his album “Oxygène”. And “Equinoxe” (1978) was also an immediate success. Just a year later, my taste in music had completely changed, but that didn't stop me from immediately buying his record “Magnetic Fields” in 1981.
Over the decades I stopped listening to these records, even though at least two of them were later available to me on CD. Jarre still makes music today and released his latest record “Oxymoreworks” in November last year.
But here's a very successful interpretation of Equinoxe to start with, which makes listening to this music a little more palatable.
And here is an excerpt from his most recent work:
I'm going to end this post and go dance a bit first.
And for those who don't go dancing now, here's a little encore, namely the director's cut of his mixed reality concert in Versailles 400.
